This paper gives the main definitions relating to dependability, a generic concept including a
special case of such attributes as reliability, availability, safety, integrity, maintainability, etc …

The development of techniques for quantitative, model-based evaluation of computer system
dependability has a long and rich history. A wide array of model-based evaluation …

Wireless medium access control (MAC) protocols such as IEEE 802.11 use distributed
contention resolution mechanisms for sharing the wireless channel. In this environment …

Selfish hosts in wireless networks that fail to adhere to the MAC protocol may obtain an
unfair share of the channel bandwidth. We present modifications to the IEEE 802.11 backoff …

网络各种攻防过程的实验推演并分析评价网络系统安全性已逐渐成为热点研究方向9 …

Diverse layers of defence play an important role in the design of defence-in-depth
architectures. The use of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are ubiquitous in this design …

We present an analysis of the diversity that exists in the rules and blacklisted IP addresses of
the Snort and Suricata Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs). We analysed the evolution of the …

The theme of intrusion detection systems (IDS) is detection because prevention mechanisms
alone are not guaranteed to keep intruders out. The research focus of IDS is therefore on …

In this work, we present a first effort at quantitatively comparing the strengths and limitations
of various intrusion-tolerant server architectures. We study four representative architectures …

Survivable systems-that is, systems that can continue to provide service despite failures,
intrusions, and other threats-are increasingly needed in a wide variety of civilian and military …
